Android Question [Solved] Error trying to open a pdf file ...

[javiers]

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="14" android:targetSdkVersion="26"/>

This is the error that I get.


android.os.FileUriExposedException: file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/fichasmmpp5.softbomberos/files/116.pdf exposed beyond app through Intent.getData()

Sub Label3_Click
    Dim FileName As String
    Dim j As Intent ' Libreria Phone
    FileName =   Ficha & ".pdf"

    If File.Exists(File.DirRootExternal, FileName) = False Then
        File.Copy(File.DirAssets, FileName, File.DirDefaultExternal, FileName)
    End If

    j.Initialize(j.ACTION_VIEW, "file://" & File.Combine(File.DirDefaultExternal, FileName))
    j.SetType("application/pdf")
    StartActivity(j)
End Sub

Must use FileProvider to share a file: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/share-txt-files.73166/#post-464921
